The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down plain and simple. The next couple of weeks are mostly a bust, with one solid session way out at the end.
From Thursday the 23rd through Monday the 3rd of August, it’s a long dry spell. The first morning, Thursday the 23rd, you get a little 3ft south swell with 8-second periods, clean-ish with a light north cross-off, but the combined energy is only 132 – weak. Water temp is 69°, about normal for July. Then it’s just days of tiny, messy waves: 1ft to 2ft, onshore winds, choppy, not worth a paddle. There’s a full seven-day gap from Friday the 25th through Thursday the 31st of July where there’s zero surf worth mentioning.
Come Tuesday the 29th of July morning, it’s glassy with a 2ft south swell, but the energy is only 65, and it’s a risk tstorm day. You might snag a few small ones if you’re a beginner, but nothing special.
The one true standout hits Monday the 3rd of August afternoon at Narragansett Town Beach (Rhode Island). We’re looking at a 6ft south swell, 8-second period, combined energy of 481 (moderate, solid for this spot). The wind is WNW at 3 mph, glassy. That’s clean, lined-up, proper surf. The break is sheltered, so it’ll handle that swell well. The swell direction is south, and the optimum is SE, so it’s a little off but still works. This is a beginner-friendly break, and 6ft is a bit much for true beginners, but intermediates will have a blast. Crowds are possible – it’s a popular spot. That afternoon is the best session of the whole forecast.
Tuesday the 4th of August morning is still okay: 4ft south swell, 9 seconds, cross-off NNE wind, clean, with 246 energy. But it’s not as good as that Monday glass-off.
After that, the rest of the second week fades back into tiny, wind-affected junk – 2ft to 3ft, short periods, cross-shore breezes. Not worth chasing.
So here’s the deal: you’ve got a long, flat stretch until Monday the 3rd of August afternoon. That’s your one shot. If you can wait, it’ll be the cleanest, most fun surf of the whole period. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and the expectations low.
